Royal maid

106 Rainy Night

The matter in Qing County has come to an end, and it is convenient for everyone to leave for Kyoto on the third day of junior high school.

Because the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and soon after, it will be a day of promise. Therefore, almost all the people on the way are non-stop. Every time they arrive at the post station, they only change horses, and the drivers also change shifts. This crowd is almost all on the carriage to eat and sleep.

In order to travel in a light car, except for the bodyguards, the army did not travel with Yunzhen.

In this way, several cars took two days and one night to run out of more than a thousand miles. On the night of the fourth day of the lunar new year, they had arrived in the outer suburbs of Kyoto. If the weather was good, they could stay at the post station outside Kyoto around this night.

However, there is always a thing...

Coincidentally, the weather in Kyoto is not bad this day, not only bad, but also very bad.

In fact, every May, it is like this near Kyoto, and it is rainy, but the rain this night is particularly heavy, and the wind is strong from time to time, almost like lifting the driving cover.

He Xuan lifted the curtain, looked at the weather outside, and then took an umbrella.

"Where are you going?"

Zuo Liang, who was in the same car as He Xuan, asked.

"Yes. What are you doing with this strong wind and heavy rain? Liao Yong also asked.

"I'll discuss it with the prince and stop going tonight. It's not too late for us to leave when the weather gets better tomorrow.

"Don't go down. I'll go."

With that, Zuo Liang took the umbrella directly and jumped out of the car with a car curtain.

He Xuan also stopped the carriage, and soon, Yunzhen's second car also arrived.

"Why don't you leave?" Yunzhen sat in the car and asked.

"To go back to the prince, General Zuo has something to ask for instructions. Moreover, Lord He's car also stopped. The driver returned.

Yunzhen asked through the window, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the rain today is surprisingly heavy, and it is really not suitable for the road. Although Weichen knows that the prince's return is like an arrow, he will sharpen his knife and cut wood by mistake. Tonight, let's find a village to rest. Otherwise, when he enters the palace tomorrow, the prince looks tired, and it is inevitable that the emperor and the empress dowager will be worried.

Zuo Liang shouted, and a strong wind swept away the only umbrella that could slightly block the rain.

Yunzhen thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Find a place to rest tonight. Let's leave early tomorrow morning."

Zuo Liang led Wang Ming and hurried back to his car. As soon as he entered the car, a towel and a handkerchief were handed to him. Before Zuo Liang could feel it, he only heard the person who handed the towel and handkerchief ask, "What do you say?"

Zuo Liang was stunned and nodded to He Xuan, "It's done. Let's find a place."

Then, she didn't wipe herself with the veil she handed over, but stuffed the veil into her arms with a smile.

Liao Yong did not go to see what Zuo Liang was doing, but looked at the heavy rain outside and said, "It's so dark and rainy that I don't know where to go. Where can I find this place to settle down? I don't know what time it is now.

Suddenly, He Xuan stretched her head out of the car without warning, but then showed her head and was suddenly brought back by Zuo Liang like a chicken.

"What are you doing?" He Xuan asked with a frown.

"What are you doing?" Zuo Liang looked at He Xuan and asked, "Why are you sticking your head out in such a heavy rain?"

Not only Zuo Liang, but also Liao Yong was a little confused about He Xuan's sudden action just now.

"I seem to have faintly heard the sound of drumming just now." He Xuan explained, "But I didn't really listen to it, so I want to..."

"Can you hear the sound of drumming in the heavy rain outside? I think I heard it wrong..." Liao Yong shook his head, took his handkerchief, and helped He Xuan wipe her hair...

He Xuan naturally took the veil from his hand, wiped her face, and said to herself, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Seeing that He Xuan was not giving up, Zuo Liang opened the curtain and asked, "Where is this?"

"Here is the boundary of Fang County. Sir, if you want to rest, let's walk along the fork in the road to Zhuangzi. I remember there is a temple near here..."

"How do you know?" Zuo Liang asked, thinking that the driver was so clear about the heavy rain.

The driver smiled and said, "What I said. The smaller one is the people from this county.

Zuo Liang felt more at ease after hearing this. At this glance, it's time to go to Kyoto. I'm protecting the prince by myself. These three worships and nine kowtowers have passed. Don't come to this terrible thing...

"You lead the way. I found a place to stay and reward you to go home for a night.

When the driver heard this, he nodded his head, raised his horse whip, and took everyone to the fork in the road.

After about an hour in this storm, several cars finally stopped in front of a temple.

The driver jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the mountain gate. Soon after, a little Sami ran over and opened the door.

"Amitabha," Xiao Shami praised the Buddha's name, saluted the driver, looked at the carriage behind him, and asked with a smile, "Does the donor want to sleep in?"

Before the driver answered, several people on the first car had jumped down and walked under the mountain gate.

Zuo Liang looked up and saw that several square characters on the mountain gate read "Liudu Temple".

He Xuan saluted the little Shami and said with a smile, "Exactly. Please send a voice to the little master, I don't know..."

"Please come in first." Little Shami said, opened the mountain gate, then waved to the porch, and ran to a similar age Shami, "Ruzhen, take the carriage to the side door. I took the benefactors to the temple to meet the master first.

"Yes, brother."

With that, the little monk known as Ruzhen first turned back to the porch and appeared in front of the crowd again in a few hours, wearing a bamboo hat and a bamboo hat.

At this time, Yunzhen, Jinse, Aunt Jiao, Yumo and Yuqing all got out of the car. Ruzhen just got into the first carriage and was about to take someone to the back door. Liao Yong suddenly remembered something, stopped the convoy and called the driver in his car just now.

"Master Liao, what else can I do?" The driver asked.

Liao Yong took two or three naked gold from his purse, quietly put them in the driver's hand, and whispered, "There is no time for you to buy things for your family. This is a reward from the prince. If you go back later, you don't have to come to say hello. But remember, I guess I'll be on my way before tomorrow. Don't miss it.

Yunzhen stood beside Liao Yong at this time. Hearing Liao Yong's words, he smiled and nodded to the driver.

The driver got the reward. Seeing that the prince might be, he hurried to bow down in panic, but was stopped by Liao Yong and shook his hand to let him go.

At this time, He Xuan asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call the master?"

"The little monk's name is You Shan. Several benefactors, please come with me."

Everyone followed Rushan into the temple.

At this time, Yunzhen whispered to Liao Yong, "Come with Brother Lin Fan, which made Xiao Wang a lot more generous."

"You're joking."

"Tell them that we can stay quietly for one night. It's better not to reveal your identity."

"Yes."

At this time, Liao Yong retreated to the back and told everyone in a low voice about Yunzhen's orders. Everyone was so happy that they didn't have to mention it.

However, there is no reason not to worship when entering the temple. Several people straightened their clothes, asked Xiao Shami to take clean their noodles and hands, and then coughed with fragrant tea. Then they walked into the hall and worshiped in an orderly manner.

Rushan took advantage of this time and asked others to invite the master over.

Rushan's master's legal name is Yin Wu, which is used to supervise the temple in this temple. This attracted Wucai to glance outside the hall and suddenly withdrew back in panic. Pulling over Rushan and saying, "You should support here. I'll come as soon as I go."

Rushan didn't know what the master meant, but nodded and continued to stand outside the hall to take care of him.

This led to about a pillar of incense, and I saw a lot of people coming. As soon as you saw it, even the abbot Shichen, the abbot, greeted him.

At this time, Yunzhen and others had also finished worshipping and were about to ask Xiao Shami to lead themselves to the fast hall, but they saw many people coming outside.

Master Chen came to Yunzhen, recited the Buddha's name, and saluted Yunzhen, "The poor monk Shichen did not know that the virtuous prince came to our temple and had never welcomed him far away. I hope the prince will forgive me."

Yunzhen frowned, but immediately said with a smile on his face, "How can the master say? Xiao Wang encountered heavy rain on his way back to Beijing before he came to the temple to disturb him. Please forgive me for the inconvenience."

"The prince is here, and the wall of the temple is shining. How can I bother you? Rushan, can you prepare for Zhaitang?

"If you go back to the master, it has been prepared. Because there were accompanying women, they were placed in a single courtyard on the edge of the mountain.

Listening to Rushan's words, Shi Chen frowned...

"Is there any inconvenience?" Yunzhen saw Shichen frowning and asked in a hurry.

"Oh..." Master Shichen smiled and said, "There is no inconvenience. It's just that the yard has been useless for some time, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a night. Tomorrow morning, we have to rush to Beijing.

Shi Chen sighed gently and nodded with a smile. Suddenly, he saw Liao Yong standing behind Yunzhen, and his eyes showed a lot of surprise in an instant.

It was at this moment, but he was also caught by Yunzhen. He pulled his lips and smiled faintly, thinking: They all said that they were outsiders, but when they saw a gold owner, their eyes would still shine.

"Come and say hello to the master, too."

With Yunzhen's words, several people came closer. One by one, I met Master Shichen.

After seeing the ceremony, Shi Chen ordered Yin Wu to take everyone to the small courtyard next to the back mountain.

As soon as she entered the yard, He Xuan walked opposite an old monk who swept the floor. He said that he was an old monk. He looked like he was in his forties. He smiled at He Xuan, dodged his body and gave way. He Xuan also saluted him...

But in this wrong time, this person suddenly made He Xuan feel extremely familiar... However, for a moment, I can't remember where I have seen her.

"Uncle dumb. But it's all cleaned?" You are good at asking.

The sweeping monk nodded and left the courtyard.

Inu and Rushan made arrangements for everyone, and not long after, they sent the hot fast meal...

When everything is properly arranged, no one will return to Shichen.

"Is it all arranged?" Shi Chen asked.

"If you go back to the abbot, it's all right. Several of them must be tired and ready to rest.

Shi Chen nodded and let Yin Wu also retreat.

To clear the lamp, Shi Chen took a long breath and said to himself, "Since it's fate, let's meet..."

At this time, the man known as the "dumb uncle" who had been standing behind the curtain came out, saluted the abbot and replied, "Thank you for your order."
